Condolences

Condolence From: Mr. Angel Kames

Condolence: Angel Kames wishes condolences to Robert " Butch " family.
Butch was a kind and caring human who between him and Jack helped many in work and excelling in the work they love. They started creating a Stone Pony family in 1974 that up to today still exists. Butch always listened and did what was right. The memories of the Stone Pony and his caring way will always be very refreshing to all the souls he touched. My friend R.I.P.

Condolence: My condolences go out to Butch’s Family for his loss..Butch touch so many peoples lives. I worked for Butch and Jack in the mid to late 70’s. Both at Pony and Later at Quack Quack, Butch God Bless you big Man, and Thank You for the Great Memories you gave me and Millions of others.

Condolence: Butch, thanks for bringing me in as the first non Pt Pleasant guy way back when. Best 3-1/2 years of memories. I'm sure Sweets, Piggy, Whale, & Terry MaG welcomed you up there with a bottle of schnapps. RIP

Condolence: Rest in sweet Peace Butch, I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain.Bless your soul for the guy you were,who helped so many & thank you for hiring me the different times in my life when I needed a job. Be it at Opening, Closing, during work, at your house; giving the smile or the special nod of your head was with sweet care. Besides your family,I'm sure your Pony Family Angels had open arms awaiting you in Heaven; Bozo, Bambie,Resa, Mattie.

Condolence: Lori's right he was larger than life. To all the young guys that worked for him he was who we wanted to be. He was the Stone Pony! He was THE man. He will be missed. Condolences to his loved ones.

Condolence: Butch you were bigger then life. The Stone Pony meant a lot to so many people and influenced so many lives. I grew up in Asbury Park and miss the days of going to the Pony on Sunday nights to see Cats and the occasional Bruce sighting. Butch was always there and if he spotted us coming in he would wave us past the bouncers. Our condolences to his family

Condolence: We were good friends with Butch and enjoyed spending a lot of time with him both at "The Pony" as well as his home, pool, & many dinners out. "Butch' was a generous man and had a great personality.The Stone Pony, was our "home away from home" and 'Butch' was always a great host.Because of his generosity and his love for people, some people took advantage of him, and after the closing of the Pony, he found out who his true friends were. As his health failed,, Butch tried to continue life, but his battle with the disease finally was lost. Butch, we will always remember the good times we had with you, and will always remain close to our heart. We Love you Butch and will miss you tremendously!

Condolence: I was so young and was at a crossroads in my life yet Butch took me under his wing and helped me to move forward in my journey of life. I will never forget his kindness, the wonderful time I had working for him and how he use to joke with me, always making me laugh. RIP friend, until we meet again! I will be dedicating my show at McLoone's Supper Club, Asbury Park to you on Thursday, come in and say "Hello", I'll be listening for you.....
